I've been taking my children here since my eldest was 4 years old (and they were located in their…read moreold building on Monona Drive), and he is 33 now. Dr. Wilson and this group are above par (honestly, I'd score them as an albatross - double eagle - if we were using golf terminology) and go out of their way for all children. They have never recommended services that my children didn't need. They were super understanding and patient with one of my middle children who was absolutely terrified of having a filling; they worked to put his mind and ease and the procedure was even stopped once for his comfort, because he became scared. They didn't need to do this, but to them, his comfort level came first. As a parent, this meant so much to me and made it so much easier for my child to go to his next dental visit. Everything they went over really meant something to my child, and after that baby filling tooth fell out, my son has been fortunate enough to have excellent adult teeth with no fillings, and I credit a part of that to this excellent team. My middle daughter has unfortunately grown into a condition that I have, where nitrous oxide is something that makes her ill with a racing heart and sadly, novacaine does not work on her like it should. She needs several shots to get started and then needs a new shot every about every five minutes or she can feel everything that is being done to her. They were super understanding and believed her, instead of taking the opportunity to belittle her or condescend. I wish I could find a dental group that would behave this well; it's been a nightmare getting people to listen that I can feel everything that's being done, no matter how many injections. I've noticed that this clinic will take everyone, from the folks with the best insurance down to the worst and private pay. They are always kind, attentive and there is no attitude towards race or LGBTQ, that our family has noticed and friends that we referred have noticed. That is so refreshing. The atmosphere is upbeat, and fun as it's set up like a theater, with a giant screen and seating in chairs and couches in the front wait room. There is a TV screen over each dental chair, to help little ones focus on a favorite movie rather than the procedure. Turnover is minor, so you can actually establish a relationship with people who your children come to see as "safe" - so important. Comfy seating for the parents, close to their children, is throughout. As a parent, you are included in everything that goes on from the moment you step into the procedure area. You are consulted on treatment options, plans, etc. You are also able to speak with someone, in private, if you need to set up a payment plan or go over insurance details, etc. I just can't say enough about this wonderful facility and superb staff and I feel fortunate to have found a dentist who our family has been able to rely on for almost thirty years. I don't say this lightly as I am not a big fan of posting reviews, but this facility deserves it and has shined brightly for us, even in the years when we didn't have a dental insurance plan. That's truly saying something. **I noted that some people were not happy about how long it takes to get in to be seen at this facility. I understand, but this is such a great place that it's worth it, IMHO. If there is a dental emergency, these people will move night and day to get your child in, because they care. In our friend's and family this facility has been amazing with children who have ADHD, mild Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. We'd rather have a wait or take a half day at school to get our kids in where they feel welcome and safe than to take them somewhere else and risk a negative appointment that could have lasting effects into adulthood. I say this as a child who lived mid state (affectionately referred to as BFE) and was traumatized by my first dentist. I now live with a completely irrational fear that is so bad I get physically ill. I'm so blessed that my children will never have to go through such a scarring, life altering event. I don't say this lightly and I take it very, very seriously. No child should ever have to be slapped by a dentist (my note about feeling everything and injections not helping was not listened to, hence being roughed up for being in pain and crying). Thank goodness for modern technology and fantastic dentists like the people at MPD.

I have been going to Dr. Allison (as this is what they say in the office to keep it 1st name and…read moreeasy for the kids) since my kids were old enough to go to the dentist. They first saw her at the west side location and we moved over to Fitchburg when she started to be exclusive to that location. They since then have opened an Eastside Location, but I refuse to change doctors and feel it is worth the drive 2x a year. Dr. Allison and her staff are so amazing. They are extremely pleasant to work with. I believe I only have been not happy with the customer service of the front desk once and we have visited at least 30x. My kids are almost to the age where they no longer will go here and I am so bummed because she is wonderful and wonderful with kids. Also, I was annoyed in the begging with it taking so long for my kids to get in for braces on referral. Mostly because my kids wanted before HS. The oldest of the 2 is dentally delayed so it has been rough... But after talking with tons of other parents and hearing how they were sent to early and had to get braces a 2nd time for their kids I was relieved. All though it seemed like a pain as they were in HS, she probably ended up saving me a ton of $ at the ortho. Thanks Dr. Dowd and team :)

He performed this procedure very quickly & efficiently, but his approach was very forceful and unpleasant. I admit, I failed as a mom to stand up for my daughter at the time as I was in shock and disturbed by how he was handling her. All I could think of doing at the time was to hold my daughter down and comfort her, so she wouldn't agitate this Dr anymore. My daughter was struggling to follow his directions and commands, because she was nervous and scared. She would lift her head and arms up, and he would forcefully push it back down. He then realized that she wasn't going to do what he said, so he forced her mouth open, and even scolded at her a few times to "LISTEN TO ME!" I was so upset, I went and held my daughter's arms down and comforted her throughout the entire procedure. When we checked out, I requested for a new Dr, preferably a female, since this visit was traumatizing for my daughter and I. The receptionist said she'll call me and let me know if that was possible. When they called me back they told me "both dr's do the same things, so if we switch, it wouldn't make a difference." They suggested that I could contact another facility of their's at a different location. *wow. & no I will not. Apparently, they like to be forceful on all of their little patients. Anyway - after the appointment, I left the facility balling my eyes out because not only did I failed to protect my daughter, I let this Dr violate her, push her around, shove her down. we've contacted the office manager, and they said they'll speak to him. I've read reviews and spoke with people that used to work at this facility and they all have agreed that this Dr can be "aggressive". There's no excuse to treat little patients, or anyone in general, this way! And we're happy to take our services elsewhere.

Well, what a nice surprise!…read more I have not been to a dentist regularly and the thought of going made me anxious the closer and closer my calendar reminder got. After my first appointment though, I am (mostly) not dreading my follow up appointment! The building itself is straight out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, very comfortable and clean with obvious aesthetic appeal that made me look at my own home decor in envy. They have a very comfortable waiting room with some fun things for anyone who might have some nervous kids - or adults who are kids at heart. The staff was very easy to talk to and professional. They answered my laundry list of questions, some of which probably toed the line on what is and what is not their actual responsibility. Special thanks to Sky who helped me feel calm and at home as we watched a cooking show on the tv above the patient chair (nice!). Lastly, the complete transparency during checkout was really a huge selling point. They showed me a complete breakdown for my follow up appointment so that I could make adjustments as needed and avoid any awkward sticker shock conversations. Thankfully, my insurance covered most of my appointments, but I know that is not always the case for everyone; the transparency during scheduling is telling of their business model! I hope I don't have to do be soon, but if I do I know I will be in good hands!
